Let’s all hear it for pop music that gets us moving and moving on. Last week, Nectar Nightclub’s Poison Wednesdays, our favorite purple-lit dance pit for pop music and potent cocktails, gave us the ultimate release for our midweek melancholia through GAYuma, a pocket party in collaboration with TEAM’s Hanging Out. It was also a rightful coping mechanism after the release of the series’s Episode 4, where we witnessed Kiko’s close call with HIV and discovered his bittersweet closeness to Adrian.

In real life, Jox Gonzales and Albert Saspa (Adrian and Kiko on the show), have no hang-ups about their homo bromance. The GBFs (or as they like to call each other, the BBQs) mounted the decks as BRAD CITY, a dynamic DJ duo spinning danceable hugot hits. Their set was also a reason for the rest of the cast to drop by and get desecrated by Poison’s kanal kween and hostess Queen Bridgette Olga.

From Queen Bridgette Olga making sad Kiko show us his happy trail to the dance-off between our Editor at Large Victor Platon and actor Eboy Fernandez, there was enough that night to make us forget love’s uncertainty. At least on the dance floor, an upbeat Ariana song doesn’t leave us time to overthink. Especially not when the cutie by the bar is moving closer.

About Team

TEAM tackles how gay Filipino men relate their identity, from fuckups to fantasies, to where to go for music you can actually dance to. We may not have proper rights in our country but we’re claiming some authority by getting our words and ideas on page. And though we lack public places to convene, an open publication (and wide-open digital space) is a good place to start.
